Speaking of this gold bar, it was some specially prepared for him by Empress Fengxuan when he left the capital, and he had been in the storage bag, and he was busy fighting with Nanxiang Pavilion these days, and he never used it.

After eating a few fish fillets, he took gold bars as a reward, even Lu Mingfei felt a little abrupt, and there was also a trace of shame.

I think that at the beginning, when he was an ordinary young man in the market, Yin Zhelu gave him two gold bars, but he didn't have this expression.

"I don't have any money with me, that's all I have, girl, take it first, I'll eat a few more of your fish fillets." ”

The girl was flattered and said: "What the eldest brother said is just a few fish fillets, even if all of them are given to you here, it is not worth two taels of silver, where can you receive such a valuable thing." We live here, we have always been fishing for a living, this day has long been used to it, although the gold is good, but it is not a long-term thing, even if it is given to me, one day it will have to be spent, when the gold is gone, and I am too lazy to go out to sea to catch fish, is it not troublesome. ”

The girl said casually, but Lu Mingfei couldn't help but admire in his heart, he didn't expect that this ordinary girl from a fishing village could say such a reason.

"What do you call a girl?"

Lu Mingfei was no longer polite, took back the gold bar, and asked again.

The girl smiled and said, "My name is Haiqing'er, and the eldest brother can call me Qing'er." ”

Lu Mingfei asked about the matter: "Since the girl makes a living from fishing, there should be a boat at home to go to sea, right?

Hai Qing'er was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Is the eldest brother going to sea to fish?" When the weather is good in two days, I will take you out to sea, and I will say that I will not sell it. ”

Lu Mingfei said with a smile: "It's true to go to sea, but it's not fishing." ”

"That's?"

Lu Mingfei said: "Qing'er, have you heard of Tingtao Xiaozhu? I just want to go there to do something." ”

Hai Qing'er looked dazed, and then shook her head.

Lu Mingfei was also a little disappointed, pointed to the east and said: "It should be a small island, roughly from here to the sea, you can get there in two or three days." ”

These words immediately startled Hai Qing'er, and hurriedly shook her hand and said: "This is not good, we are all small fishing boats here, just walk around this seaside, even if it is overturned by a big wave, it will swim back, where the eldest brother said, it has to be a big sea boat." ”

Lu Mingfei was also a little worried, with his skills, he might be able to go to sea in a small boat, but Yu Yingxue is no different from a mortal after all, and the boat is indeed a little dangerous.

Hai Qing'er suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "I remember, if you really want to go to sea, big brother, someone may be able to find a way." ”

After speaking, Hai Qing'er directly threw the fish basket on the rock

, pulled Lu Mingfei and the two walked towards the fishing village.

"Thirty miles north of our village, there is a town of Chengxia, there is an Aunt Mei in the town, I heard from the people in the village, Aunt Mei is a capable person, often goes to sea to Coral City to do some business, where should she have a big ship that can go to sea. ”

While walking, Hai Qing'er kept introducing, Lu Mingfei heard of Coral City for the first time, and he was inevitably a little curious, so he asked a few more questions.

Hai Qing'er hesitated a little, and then said: "I also heard about it, it is said that Coral City is a city overseas, prosperous and lively, but no one in the village has ever been there, so I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Yu Yingxue on the side suddenly said: "I have heard of Coral City, it is said that it was built on a huge island in the East China Sea, it should be farther away than Tingtao Xiaozhu, Coral City has a large population, but it has little contact with Zhongzhou, most people don't know much about it, I just heard the master once mentioned these." ”

Lu Mingfei nodded when he heard this, although he was a little curious, but now he was more focused on the sea ship that went to sea.

All the way through the fishing village where Haiqing'er lives, a few people walked and looked, the village was sparsely covered with some houses, all of which were not big, most of them were made of stone, and they were very well acquainted and sheltered from the wind and rain.

There are indeed a few small fishing boats outside the house, which are okay to go out to sea to catch fish, but it is much worse to go to sea and travel far.

The three of them hurried quickly, and soon came to the town of Chengxia that Hai Qing'er said, although it was not as rich as the towns in the south, it was obviously much larger than the small fishing village nearby.

Under the guidance of Hai Qing'er, she soon came to a relatively large mansion, which was quite large, and should be regarded as a large family in the town.

"This is Aunt Mei's house, you can ask him about it. ”

Just as he was about to enter the door, he heard a clanging sound from the side, and when he heard the sound, it turned out that there was an iron shop not far away, and what was special was that there was a woman in her forties in the shop, holding a hammer and constantly beating.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, remembering that he was also like this when he first saw Qi Xiaobai that day.

Yu Yingxue took out the iron sword from her waist and looked at it in her hand, and said to Lu Mingfei: "You go first, I'll go to this blacksmith shop to repair this sword." ”

After the previous battle with the Immortal Ghost King, the ordinary iron sword had been damaged in many places, but Yu Yingxue still kept it by her side.

Only then did Lu Mingfei remember that the ice sword forged by the Heavenly Vein Cold Crystal that Qi Xiaobai asked Changmei's mother-in-law to send was originally intended to be given to Yu Yingxue, but it had been left in the hands of Senior Sister Mu Xunlian and forgot to return it.

Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to say anything, Yu Yingxue had already walked towards the blacksmith shop, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he followed Hai Qing'er towards the mansion.

There are not many people in the huge mansion, Hai Qing'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was a long time before a lonely old woman opened the door.

The old woman's face was a little gloomy, maybe it was because she was not in a good mood, and Lu Mingfei didn't have a good impression of the other party for some reason.

After seeing Hai Qing'er, the old woman pondered for a long time before she had some impressions, and said curiously: "Isn't this Qing'er from the village in front of her? The weather has been good these two days, haven't you gone out to sea to fish? Is there anything wrong with running all the way to me?"

The old woman was Aunt Mei in Hai Qing'er's mouth, and after Hai Qing'er gave a general introduction, she pointed to Lu Mingfei and said, "This eldest brother is from the capital, and he wants to ask Aunt Mei for some help." ”

"Oh?"

Aunt Mei looked at Lu Mingfei suspiciously for a while and asked, "I don't know anyone from the capital, is there anything this little brother is looking for me?"

Lu Mingfei showed a warm smile and said very politely: "It has nothing to do with the capital, I came this time because I heard that Aunt Mei has a sea boat, and I have something to plan to go to sea, I don't know if Aunt Mei can sell that sea boat to me." ”

Aunt Mei's expression tightened when she heard this, and then she sneered and said: "Little brother is really joking, I rely on this ship to do some business at sea all the year round, if it is sold to you, what should I do in the future, there is still a boatload of guys on the boat who rely on this to eat, little brother's request, I am afraid that I will not be able to agree, you better please go back." ”

Lu Mingfei was not discouraged, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Since Aunt Mei often goes to sea, do you know the small building in the East China Sea? ”

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei had already taken out the four gold bars he was carrying with him from his arms, if it was just an ordinary sea boat, these four gold bars would be enough to buy one, just as a ship fare, it was really expensive.

Aunt Mei couldn't help but flash a hint of brilliance in her eyes when she saw Lu Mingfei's generous hand, but after hesitating, she shook her head and said: "It's not a matter of money, I have indeed heard of what you said about Tao Xiaozhu, but I also know that ordinary people can't go there at will, and I am not familiar with this sea area, and I am afraid that it is not easy to go rashly, Aunt I am afraid that I can't help it, little brother, let's find another way." ”

Since he made a living by going to sea, he still refused Lu Mingfei under a lot of remuneration, which made Lu Mingfei feel a little surprised, and before he could say anything, he saw a sudden commotion outside the house, and then a shopkeeper-like person brought in several large wooden boxes with seven or eight subordinates.

Seeing those people coming, Aunt Mei didn't have time to greet Lu Mingfei and the others, but quickly greeted them out.

The big wooden box was opened and took a general look, it was full of medicinal materials, and others might not be able to care about it, but Lu Mingfei could see at a glance that the vast majority of these medicinal materials were not medicinal materials for curing diseases and saving people, but for refining pills.
